  • Post in thread: EG4 3000, ground fault clearing on DC?

    I had a few questions about grounding and bonding related to a single EG4 3000 inverter mostly stationary system. For context, I have a grid-connected cabin, and I am using one inverter and battery mounted on a cart powering a few things inside the cabin. Occasionally I'll want to move it...
  • Post in thread: PV Ground Fault Protection Question

    Ah, thank you for the clarification, that makes sense. On a related note, is there an equivalent requirement for a GFD on the battery side? It seems to me that there isn't, but that seems strange to me.
  • Post in thread: Ground Fault Detection on Battery Mounts

    Is ground fault protection required on the battery mounts (like it is for many systems on the PV side)? If not, why not? Thanks!
  • Post in thread: PV Ground Fault Protection Question

    NEC 2023, 690.41 (B) states: I'm curious from a safety point of view why the NEC says it's fine to not have ground fault protection for ground-mounted string array. Why would adding an earth ground to single string PV system somehow make the system safe from ground faults? Is there something...
  • Post in thread: PV Ground Fault Protection Question

    My understanding was that "solidly grounded" meant having a connection directly to earth ground, which from what I have seen and read online seems to be standard for ground-mounted solar arrays (I see folks run an GEC from their arrays and mounting equipment to earth ground). Am I...
